Pulpit Cafe
Two friends sit down over a cup of coffee (or tea!) and have an honest conversation about a Bible text that's given to them by the Lectionary. We approach these passages as preachers, but this conversation is for all thoughtful Christians who desire a safe, thoughtful, conversational space to consider God's beautiful words of life! Your hosts are Jin Cho and Sandy Richter, who are Anglican priests. Jin is out in Irvine, California complaining about the cold when it dips below 60, and works with Micah Groups--an initiative at the intersection of preaching, worship, and justice. Sandy is the rector (senior pastor) of Christ Our Peace Anglican in Oak Park, Illinois, a church that seeks to cultivate and embody God's peace through sacramental worship and faithful action.

Episode 1
Welcome to the second season of the Pulpit Cafe. Jin is joined for the first time in conversation by Sandy Richter as a new co-host! We focus on the texts for the third week of Advent, especially the Magnificat of Mary, and the gospel reading from Matthew 11:2-11. We cover how Mary's song reveals her insight into God's faithfulness and consistency in history--the God who has saved, will save! We then lean into Mary's seeing of God's consistent and persistent presence, to find comfort, and meaning, and strength in our work... This is good stuff, even if we do say so ourself!
